While I am trying my best on reviewing posts as a steemit professor, I am also trying all I can not to ignore project.hope community because it means so much to me. To my lovely readers, I will be sharing something to motivate you for the week.

You know very well that the society we live in is very good with making people think about their past all the time, the influence of social media exposing people’s life to the public is not in any way helping people forget about their troubles at all, but irrespective of how the world is pushing us, there is a need to maintain our sanity by closing our eyes to the ugly incidence of the past.

There is something that we can do with the past, we are meant to draw out lessons from it and allow it direct us towards the path of making better decisions but we must never allow this past mistakes draw us backwards from making progress in life.

Life is not perfect for anyone and most times we seem to make costly mistakes that may draw us back for a brief moment, but then we also have the power and ability to break away from the chain of the mistakes we have made in the past and fight for a more rewarding future that lies ahead of us. You might have made a lot of bad relationship mistakes and still get a good marriage at the end of the day, you may have lost so many golden opportunities and just be fine at the end of the day, but you can only be fine if you forgive yourself of those reckless mistakes that you made initially.

You need to wake up every day with the realization that you are in no way a perfect being and you are not exempted from making mistakes, this will make you realize how well you need to forgive yourself and look towards a redeemable future. The future is packed full with a lot of opportunities and making the best use of those opportunities will make it possible for a greater achievement.

It is a limiting attitude to always remind ourselves about the awful mistakes of the past, I just want to remind you to about the need to forgive yourself first and heal yourself of all the past pain so that the future goals you have in mind will be attainable for you.
